Default HELP: Whats wrong with my car?

I was driving today in 4th gear at like 2000 rpm. I went to give it a little gas and my car sort of like choked alittle. I tried agiain and the same thing happened. Then my car all of a sudden shut off. So I pulled over and got it towed. I took off the valve cover becasue I thought the timing belt might have snapped But it looked fine. Anyone have any ideas. my car has 75k on it right now.

My mechanic took a look at it, and he said a common problem with these cars is the ingintion coil. He tood off my distributor cap and sure enough, it was cracked. So he replaced the coil, cap, and rotor and it seems to be fine. Had anyone else had this problem? I just replaced my cap and rotor 10k ago. Also, he gave me a quote of $350 for the timing belt a nd water pump. IS that a good deal? thanks

$350 for timing belt and water pump is good, just make sure he uses a Honda timing belt

yeap its a good deal if he uses OEM parts
for timming belt
water pump
tension pulley
if you want to take it a little step further
replace your crank seal and cam seal.
but it is common for the ignition module to toast as well as the coil..

well I picked it up from my mechanic and on the way home it happened again. I was giving it a little gas and it sort of choked out and stalled. So I started it back up and drove it back to my mechanic. Anyone know what could be wrong with it? Hes gonna take another look at it tomorrow

My mechanic took it for a spin this morning, and the same thing happened to him. He thinks it is a fuel problem also. So he looked at it today and couldn't find anything worng with it. My car is going to be sitting at his shop until tuesday when he is doing the t-belt wand water pump. Anyone have any idea of what this can be? THe only thing I did recently to my car is the fields sfc, but I have all the fuel settings at 0. SO I dont think that is the problem
